My Dad Was A [theodor] Roosevelt Democrat.

It Was The Democratic Party, It Was The Presidential Election. We Elected A President [barack Obama]; We Didn't Elect A King. So All The Speculation In The Next Three Months - People Camped Out At His House, And Wondering Who's Coming To Visit, Who's Going To Be The Secretary Of State - That All Struck Me As Inane And Stupid.

I Was A Good Liberal In Some Sense At That Point. I Wanted To End A War. I Wanted To Support The Civil Rights Movement.

The Passions And Commitments That Ignited My Activity As A Student Are The Same Passions And Commitments That I Have Today.

If You Listen To The Debate, [barack Obama] And [john] Mccain Said The Same Thing About Gay Rights.

Beginning To Dismantle The Pentagon Would Save $1 Trillion A Year - A Small Government Proposal If Ever There Was One.
